Sadly, Betty White turned down Sgt. Ray Lewis’s request from last week due to scheduling conflicts, but Linda Hamilton—the original “Terminator” chick—has jumped at the opening, and uploaded a video on YouTube pleading for Lewis to take her instead.

Hamilton thinks she has a good chance, saying in her video she heard a rumor Lewis likes his women “vintage.” Lewis replied, using the same YouTube account with which he posted his original invitation to White, and called Hamilton “amazing.”

If Hamilton’s request is accepted, it could open the door for other celebrities to take the initiative. Why wait to get asked out to this year’s hottest gala?

Radio personalities are already making it easy on the Marines. Brooke Ryan and Aly Jacobs from Washington DC’s Mix 107.3 uploaded a Marine Corps Ball invite video today saying “rather than put the pressure and stress on you, we would like to take the time to say ‘Yes’,” we will be your dates to the ball.”
